10mm WSS: van Dyck miniatures: Zurlauben Regiment



 

This company in Belgium produces the finest and most detailed tiny metal miniatures. Their ranges are a little limited but their figures are gorgeous. In particular they have exquisite horses which, in my view, is the best way to judge the work of a mini-sculptor.

I'm showing here the French(Walloon) regiment Zurlauben, 3 battalions, whose greatest claim to fame was it's defence of the village of Blenheim. On 13 August, it took part in the disastrous Battle of Blenheim where it was virtually annihilated and its colonel mortally wounded.

I also show here my system for basing regiments formed in 4-5 ranks, which includes every nation except the British and Dutch. I snip off the supplied standard pikes and replace them with tiny steel pins because I like big flags.
